The Mets have reportedly targeted the June 14-16 series against the Cubs as the optimal timeframe for prospect Zack Wheeler's debut, according to Newsday. The right-hander has won two of three starts since rejoining the rotation at Triple-A Las Vegas after he missed one start with a shoulder injury.
Wheeler is 4-1 with a 3.86 ERA and .236 opponents' batting average in 11 starts. He also has 59 strikeouts in 58 1/3 innings.
